I also developed forward thinking Enterprise Standards, Policies and Guidelines for Global Corporations that remain in force today. These clients are comprised of Energy, Transportation, Retail, Financial, Information Technology and Medical Companies. The services I provide are performed in support of increasing and/or safeguarding revenue streams. This intuitively leads to support of data center consolidation, and outsourcing projects. To achieve this focus, I develop architecture designs for implementation of IBM's Advanced POWER Virtualization providing Logical Partitioning (LPAR), Dynamic LPAR (DLPAR), Automated DLPAR using Partition Load Manager (PLM), Micro-partitioning, Virtual I/O (VIO), High Availability (HACMP and HACMP-XD), Geographic Logical Volume Manager (GLVM) and General Parallel File System (GPFS) enabling on-demand computing and server consolidation. I am not limited to any single platform when developing solutions and have a wide and varied experience with mid-range systems. I provide security assessments, penetration and forensic analysis for corporations. My disaster recovery methodologies, in production since 1995 are now being proclaimed as the way to do business by IBM Global Services. I also developed world class global security procedures that include audit, intrusion detection and environmental hardening to global corporations. Developed training material and taught educational courses for clients. I am the principal engineer in the development of a software product that is the culmination of many years of work and experience with large Enterprise AIX, HPUX, Solaris and Linux (SUSE and Redhat) data center operations and Disaster Recovery requirements.
